Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0099759A2] Binaural thermal-response differentials which are sump- tomatic of vertigo, particularly Meniere's disease, are treated by establishing a thermal treatment operative via liquid contact with at least one eardrum, thereby establishing a difference in thermal exposure of one ear with respect to the other. Portable apparatus of the invention enables the patient to apply his own therapy whenever he senses onset symptoms of an attack. In certain cases, the apparatus is also useful for prophylactic treatment on an intermittent basis, to foreclose or substantially reduce chances of an attack in periods between treatments.
